Was at our local Camping World yesterday. When checking out, the clerk mentioned that my membership was expiring in Feb. Told us that if we wanted the new swipe and save we had to renew right there "today only" for 2 years, all in all was being a bit pushy about it.. I said no, like to renew on-line and I still have a few months and besides I have the RV plus card. Is there any truth that there is some window to renew and get the new card? If not, why would the clerk at camping world push it this way. Normally, everyone I encounter at CW is very helpful and this clerk was regarding my purchase, however I really hate pushy sales tactics especially on a membership I already have. I really don't like misinformation. Finally, Why the push to renew a full two months before my membership requires it?

Hi DwnSth,Correct, when you renew for any length of membership term you'll receive the new Good Sam Club SWIPE & SAVE membership card providing instant 3¢ discount on gas and diesel at select Pilot and Flying J Travel Centers. There is not a specific window to renew in order to receive the SWIPE & SAVE membership card, but the sooner you renew the sooner you'll receive you new membership card. We apologize for any miscommunication or confusion you experienced at the Camping World SuperCenter.There is another thread on the forum discussing the new Good Sam Club membership card and Pilot Flying J RV Plus Charge Card in detail. Find that thread here. Sincerely,Good Sam Club Team

Select Pilot and Flying J locations ???

Yes, some states have restrictions. For example, the state of Wisconsin does not allow fuel to be discounted. Therefore, to be accurate in our communications, we have to say "select" due to these various state regulations. Sincerely,Good Sam Club Team

Why weren't the Swipe & Save membership cards sent to current members that weren't close to renewal time? I saw the post about the discount with Flying J and my "Deluxe Member" card did not provide that discount for me. Membership benefit changes like this need to be communicated to the members and given what we need to benefit from these without having to renew early or even call Good Sam as I did yesterday.

I just checked my account. I renewed and am good till Jan 2015 but haven't gotten a swipe card. How long should it take?

The funny thing is that there are a dozen or more different threads and the same things are asked or remarked.

I would report this misinformation to the store manager.

This is a new program just released in the last month or so. If you renewed or got a membership before November, then you wouldn't have gotten the new swipe n save card as mentioned in the other threads about this. You need to call them.

It is called marketing. They are providing an enticement for you to renew your membership early.

I purchased a 5th wheel at CW Greenwood, In. in August. I received the Elite Membership for 3 years and the Roadside assistance for 1 year but did not get the swipe and save card either.
